Terraform and Akeyless Integration
Manage Akeyless resources as IaC and use Akeyless dynamic secrets as Terraform AWS credentials
Lab Overview
In this lab you will use the Akeyless Terraform provider to manage Akeyless resources as infrastructure-as-code, then use Akeyless dynamic secrets to provide short-lived AWS credentials to Terraform — eliminating the need to store AWS credentials in CI/CD systems or tfvars files. You will provision real AWS infrastructure (S3 bucket and EC2 instance) using dynamically issued credentials, and review the security implications of Terraform state files.
What You'll Learn
Manage Akeyless auth methods and roles using the Terraform provider
Create an AWS target and dynamic secret producer in Akeyless
Fetch dynamic AWS credentials and export them for Terraform
Provision AWS infrastructure using Terraform with dynamic credentials
Understand state file security risks and how to mitigate them
Prerequisites
Akeyless account with API Key access credentials
Completion of Lab 6 (Dynamic and Rotated Secrets) recommended
Basic Terraform knowledge (init, plan, apply, destroy)
